Florida A&M football has been cleared to resume activities after the program was suspended late last week.
Over the weekend, head coach Willie Simmons announced the entire program was being suspended after a rap video surfaced that was shot in the A&M locker room. According to Simmons, that video was shot in A&M’s locker room without prior approval.
On Monday, Florida A&M VP and AD Tiffani-Dawn Sykes confirmed the program has been cleared to resume all activities, effective Tuesday. However, an investigation into the matter is still ongoing.
Here is Sykes’ statement:
The FAMU Football team has been cleared to return to all football-related activity, effective Tuesday, July 25, 2023. An investigation into the unauthorized video that was partially filmed in the football locker room is being led by the University’s Office of Compliance and Ethics. Since this is an ongoing investigation, no further comment can be shared at this time. In my role, I have been transparent with stakeholders and this time will be no different. I will make myself available for comment at the conclusion of the investigation.
